Fima signs the main hotel in Gorgan, city in northern Iran along the ancient Silk Road. Precisely on those routes of exchange of goods and knowledge between Europe and the East, where today new opportunities are flourishing again, Fima intensifies its activity with the first realization in Iran which includes concept design and contruction drawings for interior and exterior design The hotel will be the most important and modern in the city, with 120 rooms, a large spa, gym, meeting and convention room, two restaurants and a sky-bar on the top floor with a panoramic rooftop. The project stems from the need to create a symbolic hotel for a rapidly expanding city: 300,000 inhabitants, Gorgan is located in the Golestan region, a few kilometers from the Caspian Sea and is going through a phase of particular ferment. Spread over 12 floors plus four underground floors, the hotel is conceived as a synthesis between balance and dynamism: the façade is characterized by a sequence of full and empty spaces that create a game of lights and shadows, giving the entire project an overall regularity that becomes at same times "decomposed". The structure consists of a fully glazed basement on the ground floor and first floor, which accommodate the reception and the convention room, and an elevated part that develops from the second floor with the restaurant, continues with eight floors for rooms and finish on the eleventh floor with a second restaurant and on the twelfth with the spectacular sky-bar. The south and west facades of the elevated part are characterized by glass elements and stone elements which, starting from a uniform composition, break down to create an abstract geometry on the upper floors, according to a parametric process. This creates a strong stylistic tension between an extremely regular part and a part that appears casual. The north and west facades, for the most part blind, are instead characterized by aluminum elements that gradually lose their thickness as they rise until they dematerialize. The composition is therefore governed by parameters that change according to the increase of the floors. The floor plans of the various levels also take up the same concept as the façade. From a regular shape to the lower floors, the plants are modified to create a game of angles that follow parametric patterns. The entire project is carried out in BIM. Even the entire theme of the interior design takes up the same concepts as the façade, vertical modules that overlap and dematerialize according to their position in the space. Fima started this project when the structural drawings was already made, so the the problem was how make the mouvement in the facade. The idea was to do this mouvement with a small changes on the floorplan, maximum 80 cm/1 meter. So the effect in facade seems regular but if you look the building from below the effect is to envelop and rotate the facade surface
FIMA is a multidisciplinary studio for Architecture
Alongside architectural design, which has always been a core business, there are all those preparatory disciplines for the design of buildings and spaces capable of arousing emotions: architects, engineers, energy managers, economic managers, render artists, bim and cad experts, create a multifaceted team that guarantees a 360-degree approach to architecture.FIMA is a studio capable of tackling any type of project: from the interior design of luxury spaces, to the design of commercial buildings, from restoration projects of buildings of high artistic value to restyling and energy requalification of disused industrial spaces. A constant growth, matured in thirty years of presence on the market, has brought the studio to an international level. Today FIMA works in China, Iraq, Iran and Libya. FIMA projects are born from people and focus on people, their needs and the spaces in which they live.
